3. INTRODUCTION:
Computer affects our life in a much bigger way then most of us might
have thought.
It has become a compulsory requirement in most professions to be
able to use computer software.
Modern computers which are based on integrated circuits are small
enough to fit into mobile devices but imagine having a computer that
will fit into a pen.
Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget are computers in the shape of
different pens each having a function of its own and when combined
together give us the usage of a full-blown computer.
It is a computer broken apart into pieces, each the size of a pen.
4. P-ISM:
P-ISM means “Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package”.
The P-ISM (Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package) is only a
prototype under developing stage by NEC Corporation.
In 2003, Geneva held the ITU telecom Word exhibition which exhibited a
conceptual $30,000 prototype of a P-ISM designed by the Tokyo-based NEC
Corporation.
P-ISM IS A GADGET PACKAGE INCLUDING FIVE FUNCTIONS:
CPU pen
Communication pen
Virtual keyboard
LED projector
Digital camera
6. HOW DOES IT WORK?
The P-ISM (Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package)
consists of a package of 5 pens that all have unique functions,
combining together to create virtual computing experience by
producing both monitor and keyboard on any flat surfaces from
where you can carry out functions that you would normally do
on your desktop computer.
P-ISM’s are connected with one another via a short-range
(Bluetooth) wireless technology. The whole set is connected to
the Internet through the cellular phone function.
7. HOW DOES EACH COMPONENT WORK?
CPU PEN:
The functionality of the CPU is done by one of the pen. It is also
known as computing engine.
8. COMMUNICATION PEN:
P-ISMs are connected with one
another through short-range wireless
technology.
The whole set is also connected to
the Internet through the cellular
phone function.
They are connected through
Triwireless modes (Blue tooth,
802.11B/G, and Cellular) which are
made small and kept in a small pen
like device.
9. LED PROJECTOR:
The role of monitor is taken by LED
Projector which projects on the screen.
The size of the projector is of A4 size.
It has the approximate resolution
capacity of 1024 X 768.
Thus it is gives more clarity and good
picture.
10. VIRTUAL KEYBOARD:
The Virtual Laser Keyboard (VKB) is
the ULTIMATE new gadget for PC
users.
The VKB emits laser on to the desk
where it looks like the keyboard having
QWERTY arrangement of keys
i.e., it uses a laser beam to generate a
full-size perfectly operating laser
keyboard that smoothly connects to of
PC and Most of the handheld devices
(PDA's, tablet PC's).
The I-Tech laser keyboard acts exactly
like any other "ordinary” keyboard
11. DIGITAL CAMERA:
We had digital camera in the shape of pen .It is useful in
video recording, video conferencing, simply it is called as
web cam.
It is also connected with other devices through Blue
tooth.
The major advantage it is small which is easily portable.
It is a 360-Degree Visual Communication Device.
Conventional visual communications at a distance have
been limited due to the display devices and terminals.
This terminal enables showing of the surrounding
atmosphere and group-to-group communication with a
round display and a central super-wide-angle camera.
12. BATTERY:
The most important part in the portable type of computer is
its battery.
Usually batteries must be Small in size and work for longer
time.
It comes with a battery life of 6+.
For normal use it can be used for 2 weeks.
13. ADVANTAGES OF P-ISM:
What makes the P-ISM different from all of the existing parts is that
it’s shape like pens. Pens are very common objects that we carry
around on everyday basis; by carrying just four pens you can create a
PC. So, it’s portable and can be carried easily.
As the pen is less visible and it’s easier to take it out with you, the
size and weight will be a lot less and it can potentially cost less as it
will use less material.
Using this technology we can carry out functions that we usually
carry out on a desktop computer easily and quickly. So, ubiquitous
computing can be done.
P-ISM adopts Bluetooth technology for data transfer which is a
wireless technology.
14. DISADVANTAGES OF P-ISM:
The P-ISM is made from 5 loose pens which will move around
with any change in the movement of surface area. In a train journey
there is a lot of movement which will shake the pens around and
shake the projection of the keyboard and screen. So, this can’t be as
stable and efficient as a laptop.
Also these pens are very small and fragile so they can be damaged
easily while handling them or carrying them around. One pen itself
costs quite a lat so you cannot risk damaging or losing them.
As the pens are small you could lose them easily which would cost
you a lot.
Also Key board concept is not new.
15. CONCLUSION :
The communication devices are becoming smaller and
compact.
This is only a example for the start of this new technology.
We can expect more such developments in the future; it seems
that information terminals are infinitely getting smaller.
However, we will continue to manipulate them with our hands
for now. We have visualized the connection between the latest
technology and the human, in a form of a pen.
All five pens can rest in a holding block which recharges the
batteries and holds the mass storage.
Each pen communicates wireless, possibly Bluetooth.
